The strange thing to me about what he says about slavery is that he's highlighting the benefits of being the "master" or being the one in command. But I would expect him to say something more about how nice it is to be the "slave" or the one being commanded. Since his whole big thing is about freedom from choice. Slavery is the ultimate representation of 'no choice.' And after reading through his book, I would have expected him to say something more in praise of being the one who is being commanded, and not the one who is commanding. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere along the way...
